Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Canonbury

Is the fact that my solicitor in Canonbury is not identified on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his conveyancing?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Canonbury conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must vacate my rented flat in Canonbury by 30/8/2019. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?

It is unwise to provide notice on a rental unless you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not already done so, update to your solicitor and request that they chase the owners side, try to an acceptable time-line that everyone will look towards

How up to date is your database of Canonbury solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel? Do RBS send you an updated list?

Canonbury conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from RBS directly.

My wife and I buying a victorian detached house in Canonbury. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal work on the property include investigations to determine if these alterations were previously refused?

Your solicitor will review the registered title as conveyancing in Canonbury can sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain alterations or necessitated the permission of another owner. Some works need local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

You will need to appoint Canonbury solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.

How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial premises in Canonbury and how can your lawyers assist?

The 1954 Act affords protection to business leaseholders, granting the right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
